[β] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Is there no website to check them before installing? Or it is not worth the time in Linux? Similar to VM or sandboxed system?> Something similar to: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload I use it to check APK downloads before putting it on my phone. Anyone know more about this? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Doomguy1364@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 20 points 2 years ago* (3 children) You can use virustotal for any game/file under 650MBs; This meme was created as a joke, good security practices should always be followed. No anti virus will be 100% accurate, viruses get missed all the time, while legitimate software can acquire false flags. I would never recommend just running a random .exe you find on the internet with wine as any non-root protected files could potentially be damaged; With Bottles (the application) all files outside of the created bottle are not visible to programs ran/installed inside the bottle. If you really want to try something, throwing caution to the wind, running it in a wine BOTTLE that's created just for that program, has a low chance of damaging your computer.
